Trouble adding TLS support to my IMAP client

[Thomas Cataldo]

Hi,

I'm maintaining an IMAP client based on Mina for the minig webmail.

I tried to add TLS support, so I added some code to my lib :

                        session = cf.getSession();
                        logger.info("Connection established");

                        boolean tlsActivated = run(new StartTLSCommand());
                        if (tlsActivated) {
                                activateSSL(connector);
                                logger.info("TLS activated.");
                        } else {
                                logger.warn("TLS not supported by IMAP 
server.");
                        }

                        logger.info("Sending " + login + " login 
informations.");
                        return run(new LoginCommand(login, password));

Without the tls part, everything works like a charm.

My activateSSL method is :

        private void activateSSL(SocketConnector connector) {
                try {
                        sslFilter = new MinigTLSFilter();
                        sslFilter.setUseClientMode(true);
                        
connector.getDefaultConfig().getFilterChain().addFirst("TLS",
                                        sslFilter);
                        logger.info("Network traffic with IMAP server will be 
encrypted.");
                } catch (Throwable t) {
                        logger.error("Error starting ssl", t);
                }
        }


MinigTLSFilter just extends SSLFilter. It uses the
BogusSSLContextFilter factory from mina examples. Using wireshark I
can see that no ssl handshake is attempted.

Any hint on what I'm doing wrong ?
